Airline to Rome Italy from San Juan -JFK- Rome tickets were gotten, flying time almost 15 hours with almost 4 hour layover in NYC. We will spend only a day at the port before getting on the ship. Plans to begin a week earlier in Venice, work our way to the Ship did not work out. As of now Meeting friends visiting Rome when we get back before boarding the Cross Atlantic Cruise back to San Juan.

 

Annie will be doing Independent tours I will not. Plan on going to Pompeii on the train, the Greek Islands will also be done independently, been there before. Athens may take a bus from Port , easier then getting on the train, did it before or go to the Temple of Poseidon by train. Malta will most likely go to Medina by bus, Annie will be doing a tour. May do a tour in Sicily, or stay in town. Went ona tour one last year that was amazing to the Volcano in the morning, lunch at a vineyard with assorted wines to taste a vineyard garden tour and taking a slow ride along the coast which was beautiful, an amazing journey and a stop in a small town Taramis.

FAJARDO, Puerto Rico......

After Hurricane Irma passed by......13 days POWERLESS..... at 3 pm this afternoon. POWER was turned back on!

Just got electricity, phone working (BUT THE WIRELESS PHONES NEED A CHARGE) Cable, INTERNET on & off, almost 2 hours off! Still on & off!

Did 2 loads of Laundry, Cleaned the refrigerator, filled more bottles of water to put in the freezer to make ice, just in case! Hope Hurricane Maria goes away............

But the reality it's heading our way, Hurricane Maria is now a category 5 with winds over 160 MPH, God Help anything crossing it's path! It has picked up power and speed and may reach Puerto Rico Wednesday night, sooner than expected!

Thank you Bo1953 for your note, Yes I go plan to be there!

I WILL SURVIVE! Otherwise I won't make the 2 cruise I've booked!

Mike - I trust you are safe given the situation going on on the island currently... G-d speed.

 

bon voyage
